At Recover Well, we refer to the cold and hot (or hot and cold) experience of cryotherapy session and infrared sauna as "Contrast Therapy." This approach leverages the health benefits of both extreme heat and cold, providing a comprehensive wellness experience that stimulates, rejuvenates, and relaxes the body.

This guide will let you know what to expect during your first Contrast Therapy at Recover Well.

A guide to help you seamlessly combine cryotherapy, infrared sauna, and LED light therapy into your wellness regimen for maximum benefits.

Cryotherapy, a treatment now synonymous with modern wellness and recovery techniques, has roots that trace back to ancient civilizations and has evolved through the ages into the sophisticated practice it is today. Offering a myriad of benefits, from pain management to beauty enhancement, cryotherapy’s journey through history is as fascinating as its effects on the human body.

Due to the rapid rise in popularity and mainstream use of cryotherapy and ice baths, we get a lot of questions about what the differences are. Both have their champions and skeptics, and both offer unique benefits and experiences. And we’ll be honest—we like them both! Here we will dive into the differences between these two cold therapy powerhouses, exploring their mechanisms, benefits, and why you might choose one over the other.
